Torrential rains have resulted in the death of 40 people in Bolivia.
Since the onset of the annual monsoon in November, Bolivia has faced tragic consequences due to heavy rainfall resulting in floods.
This had led to the loss of forty lives and leaving seven individuals unaccounted for in recent days.
A lates report indicates that further danger looms, especially following a landslip in La Paz that destroyed eighty homes and prompted authorities to evacuate the area.
